NEXUS-International Broadcasting Association is a strictly non-profit organization, founded and audited according to the Italian law. Its entire motivation and purpose of existence is an idealistic dedication to the rights of Free Speech and Expression in accordance with the United Nations Charter On Human Rights, and is intended to provide an alternative cultural forum via radio, whereby individuals and groups may freely practice these rights, un-hindered by the bureaucracy and prohibitively high costs otherwise prevailing in European broadcasting; 2. NEXUS-IBA broadcasts via its own transmitters on shortwave via IRRS- Shortwave to Europe, currently on 7,125 kHz (41 metre), daily at various times, and on FM in Milano, on 88.85 MHz; 3. NEXUS-IBA has absolutely no political or religious affiliation whatsoever; 4. The NEXUS-IBA Charter clearly prohibits the broadcasting of any material that directly of by inference promotes racism or the use of violence against individuals or groups of individuals; 5. In the case of Mr. Ernst Zundel, the NEXUS-IBA's Executive Committee has taken the following position: "Regardless of statements and claims originating from Mr. Zundel, himself, his programming was NOT scheduled for broadcast via NEXUS- IBA facility on Sunday September 26, 1993, In fact, it is the practice of NEXUS-IBA to review all material from new broadcasters before transmission approval is given. No such review/approval had been given in this case. With particular reference to the fact that our charter clearly prohibits the broadcasting of any material that directly of by inference promotes racism or the use of violence against individuals or groups of individuals, none of Mr. Zundel's programming will be broadcast over the facilities of NEXUS-IBA, pending thorough examination of its content and nature"; 6. In regard to the information coming in that some German magazine would be using the misleading information contained in Mr. Zundel's press release to discredit our association, NEXUS-IBA warns that we will try all possible effort to prosecute by all legal means those who deliberately try to cause damage to the good name of NEXUS-International Broadcasting Association, its members or its activities via IRRS-Shortwave, or those who will fall victim to the unfortunate contemporary journalistic temptation to create a sensational story, even though none exists.
